Name Drop

De: Ross Mathews

Narrado por: Ross Mathews

From Ross Mathews, the nationally best-selling author of Man Up!, judge on RuPaul’s Drag Race, and alum of Chelsea Lately, comes “a delightful mix of sweet and sour celebrity experiences” (Shelf Awareness) in this hilarious and irreverent collection of essays.

Pretend it’s happy hour, and you and I are sitting at the bar. I look amazing and, I agree with you, much thinner in person. You look good, too. Maybe it’s the candlelight, maybe it’s the booze. Either way, let’s just go with it. Keep this all between you and me, and do me a favor? Don’t judge me if I name drop just a little.

Television personality Ross Mathews likes telling stories. He was always outrageous and hilariously honest, even when the biggest celebrity he knew was his favorite lunch lady in the school cafeteria. Now that he has Hollywood experience - from interning behind the scenes at The Tonight Show with Jay Leno to judging RuPaul’s Drag Race - he has a lot to talk about.

In Name Drop, Ross dishes about being an unlikely insider in the alternate reality that is showbiz, like that time he was invited by Barbara Walters to host The View - only to learn his hero did not suffer fools; his Christmas with the Kardashians, which should be its own holiday special; and his news-making talk with Omarosa on Celebrity Big Brother, which, as it turns out, was just the tip of the iceberg. Holding nothing back, Ross shares the most treasured and surprising moments in his celebrity-filled career, and proves that while exposure may have made him a little bit famous, he is still as much a fanboy as ever.

Filled with “charmingly told” (Booklist) tales ranging from the horrifying to the hilarious - and with just the right “Rossipes” and cocktails to go along with them - Name Drop is every pop culture lover’s dream come true.

Amazing book! loved it.

Ross is such a bright light in this world. Highly recommend this book! His first book (Man Up) gave me so much comfort and joy. Name Drop delivers the same Ross but on a more personal level. It truly feels like we are having cocktails together hearing these stories.

LOVE Ross Mathews. Funny book

I really liked his first book too. He has some crazy stories and he tells them well. very funny and interesting!

Next best thing to being with Ross Mathews!

I adore Ross Mathews! He is one of the few celebrities who I wish was a personal friend. The stories in this book are fun and he is the narrator. Fun recipes are included.

Such a joy!

I love Ross! I've watched his career since he started as Ross 'The Intern' on the Tonight Show, Chelsea Lately, and I adore seeing him on RuPaul's Drag Race. He is so wonderfully bubbly, perpetually happy and has an infectious joyous spirit. Even while listening to the book, I went back to watch the youtube videos he mentioned. Some good, some bad, but he was always himself.

This book is a glimpse into his life, career and gaggle of celebrity friends and frenemies! Love the inclusion of drinks and food. All of us gays love a good cocktail and a nosh!

Love you, Ross. Thank you for the stories and the laughs!

Stayed up to listen

After man up I was dying to
Listen to this, stayed up for release and it’s fabulous so far! Can’t wait to get my signed copy during the tour!

Just so much fun

I really liked this book. It’s fun and I love hearing him read it. It’s silly and I laughed out loud a few times.

Great experience

Whether you know who the celebrities Ross talks about or you don’t, you’re sure to enjoy each delightful taste of celebrity interaction described by one of the funniest personalities in Hollywood. I look forward to trying each recipe out, savoring every story and flavor. Kiss kiss

Never a dull moment with Ross

I absolutely loved this book! The concept was perfect because we all love to hear about how people interact with celebrities! Ross also always does everything with an added exuberance that makes you smile as you listen to him!! Kish Kish

Cute but needs more meat

Love Ross! Love his stories, but if you’re a fan - you’ve heard these before.

Wish he really WOULD share those dishy stories. Too many puns - and dad jokes at times.

His energy and spirit come through and hope his next book has more meat.

More Please!!!!

I loved Man Up, and when I saw Ross Mathews had written another book, I looked forward to it. If Ross could just go ahead and find the time to write 5 of these a year, that would be great.

His stories, his wit, his hilarity are fantastic. If you like hearing about celebrities and do not mind the author doing a great job of entertaining you while sharing their real-life experiences from coast to coast, this book is for you.

More, please!!!
